faith: substance of things not seen, which are true

Today as I was listening to the scriptures, this one in the Doctrine and Covenants 88 fascinated me and caught my complete attention. I thought and pondered while listening on how marvelous it is that JESUS CHRIST actually created the very earth upon which we stand. He did it, by the power which He has, that the Father has and gave to Him... and not only creating this earth but also the Sun which heats the earth at the perfect distance, lights the earth, gives the very light and environment the earth needs, the earth's perfect rotation and orbit in place yielding seasons and life compatible with the human race. The moon and the stars providing night light, in the right way, in the right time, under the right circumstances. A perfect plan of creation, of salvation, ...and this scripture today for me was fascinating to listen to, as I pondered how infinitely great Jesus Christ actually IS. HE is GOD as is Heavenly Father is God, as is also the Holy Ghost. We have a Supreme Being that created everything within our view, including our very bodies that house our spirits to make our souls. And today on this Christmas day we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, coming into the world as the GIFT to all mankind. The LIGHT.

7 Which truth shineth. This is the LIGHT of CHRIST. As also he is in the sun, and the LIGHT of the SUN, and the power thereof by which it was made.

​

8 As also he is in the moon, and is the LIGHT of the MOON, and the power thereof by which it was made;

9 As also the LIGHT of the STARS, and the power thereof by which they were made;

​10 And the earth also, and the power thereof, even the earth upon which you stand.11 And the light which shineth, which giveth you light, is through him who enlighteneth your eyes, which is the same light that quickeneth your understandings;12 Which light proceedeth forth from the presence of God to fill the immensity of space--13 The light which is in all things, which giveth life to all things, which is the law by which all things are governed, even the power of God who sitteth upon his throne, who is in the bosom of eternity, who is in the midst of all things.
